RESUMO
In rats injected with an arthropathogenic dose of streptococcal cell wall fragments, serum hemolytic activity decreased over the first 24 h and was then elevated from days 2 through 6 after injection. Hemolytic activity was again elevated at days 16 and 40. Levels of activity of alternative complement pathway, C3, and factor D were also altered.
